text: So, the 35 pounds i've lost has been an effect of being sick, being on a liquid diet after surgery, all of that happy stuff. And then I am only assuming my highest weight was 350. Today is the day that I will do my first official workout during my weight loss journey. I've worked out before, obviously, but this is the first one in a long time and I'm excited about it. It's 3:40am, so I can't do anything right now without waking everyone up, but after my mother goes downstairs and my brother leaves for school, I'm going to try some different workouts that I've found online. It's just nicer working out in private, for me anyway. I'll have the whole upstairs to myself. My plan is to workout for at least an hour, breaks in between if I need it, since I am still healing and severely out of shape. But as long as I keep moving for the hour i'll be happy. I'll tell you how it goes. :) And yes, my sleep schedule is severely messed up. I slept all day yesterday and woke up around 2am this morning, but I think it was a good thing. I feel very well rested. I'm hoping this will jumpstart things, sleeping right and all that. I'm buying a scale on friday as well, hopefully. I don't have one right now so it'll be very tricky for me to know how much progress i'm making. I'm not one of those weight yourself everyday people. Once a week is good for me. I'd get too discourage weighing everyday and seeing it fluctuate.

Once the chopper lifts off from the Hook Pier Heliport and rises above New York Harbor, the Big Apple's sprawling metropolis fills passengers' sightlines. Rotors spinning, the copter flies past the Statue of Liberty and toward the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and other looming examples of urban architecture. During these tours, sightseers sit comfortably within one of the company's five Bell 407 helicopters, which boast giant windows and enough legroom to roundhouse kick roving bands of skydivers looking to freeload their way onto the aircraft. The helicopter pilots also charter their aircraft on trips to cities including Boston and Atlantic City.

Additionally, Pure Service Pro fends off accumulating moisture by waterproofing basements and liberates grimy ground coverings with eco-friendly carpet-cleaning services.
Originally called the Austin, this vintage 1930s theater has seen several ups and downs in its history, from years as a second-run double-feature house to a red-tinted stint that got it shut down by the city. In its current incarnation, the Kew Gardens Cinemas flaunts restored art-deco flair alongside modern projectors and molar-rocking surround sound. Stadium seating and a fully stocked concession stand further complement current flicks by granting every set of eyes a great view and every set of dental braces something to hold during scary scenes. Swing by the theater with a friend to snack on your own small popcorns (a $5 value each) and sip sodas (a $3.50 value each) while enjoying a vintage movie-viewing experience that beats watching Betamax tapes on your Great Uncle Vinnie's 1978 Zenith.
Having accrued 15 years of teaching experience, the staff members at Tennis Innovators prioritize exciting instruction and curriculums over barraging students with volley after volley. They appreciate the challenge of holding a child's interest and create fun drills for junior pupils, who can begin to learn racket-swinging techniques as early as age 3. The QuickStart and JuniorExtreme programs act as intriguing introductions to the sport for adolescents and work on improving their coordination, mobility, and athleticism, both on and off the court. In fact, they don't require a court to host their afterschool programs and will adapt lessons to fit any suitable space, such as a gymnasium or the least occupied patch of an in-use baseball diamond.
Classes aren't just for children—the staff hosts adult sessions aimed at improving overall game play and fitness in a supportive environment for fully formed humans of all skill levels. Staffers also lend their management expertise to neighborhood tennis clubs, providing guidance for hiring and training processes, court maintenance, and marketing.

Brazilian swap rates rose to the highest level in almost a week as a report showed inflation is picking up, reducing speculation the central bank will sustain the pace of cuts in borrowing costs.
Swap rates on the contract due in January 2014 increased one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, 7.79 percent today in Sao Paulo, the highest level on a closing basis since July 31. The real fell 0.1 percent to 2.0311 per U.S. dollar.
Inflation as measured by the IGP-DI index accelerated in July to 1.52 percent from 0.69 percent in the prior month, the Getulio Vargas Foundation reported today. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey was for 1.46 percent inflation.
"The IGP-DI came higher than expected, and food prices are going to suffer more with the drought in the U.S.," Eduardo Galasini, the head of treasury at Banco Banif in Sao Paulo, said in a telephone interview.
Analysts in a central bank survey reduced their 2012 growth projection. The economy will expand 1.85 percent in 2012, compared with a projection of 1.90 percent growth last week, according to the median forecast of about 100 responses in a central bank survey published today.
The central bank has cut the target lending rate by 4.5 percentage points since August 2011 to a record low 8 percent to help spur growth and shield Brazil's economy from the European sovereign-debt crisis.
The analysts in the central bank survey lowered their estimate for the 2012 year-end target lending rate for the first time in almost two months. Policy makers will cut the Selic to 7.25 percent, according to the median estimate.
Low employment and real wage increases will help drive Brazil's economic growth to a 4 percent annual rate by year-end, bank President Alexandre Tombini told reporters in late July.

James Cameron's Avatar: New ways for the current 3D fad to bloom?
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies
In case you were asleep on the Internet last week, James Cameron's long awaited film Avatar just launched its first teaser trailer. All I can say is "it's about time," because I've been hearing about Avatar for years. Word is that James Cameron, who hasn't given us a decent blockbuster since that one with the big sinking ocean liner, had to reinvent cinema technology to give us this 3D science-fiction epic.
It would appear that Panasonic is getting behind Cameron by helping to promote it by bringing their huge 103-inch screens to locations everywhere to show people the 3D effects. I got a chance to see Panasonic's 3D television at CES, and it was quite something.
All I can say is that Avatar had better be worth this kind of promotion. If it is the Titanic hit that people believe it will be, than I have no doubt that 3D will soon become the new standard of big blockbuster movies.
In the meantime, check out the teaser trailer below:
Distraction-Free 3D Illustrator Rhonda is Open for Beta Testing
Posted by Kris Madden Categories: Editorials, Reviews
Like DarkRoom or WriteRoom, which provide full-screen text-editors for writers, Rhonda offers something similar for 3D artists, with a minimalist environment and user-friendly interface. If you're familiar with AutoDesk's Sketchbook Pro take on no-frills 2-D illustration, you may want to check out Rhonda for working in 3D. Before you get too excited about creating the next Shrek in Rhonda, know that it just opened Beta testing and they are still working out the bugs and issues, etc.
YouTube 3D video testing spotted
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech
I'm sure you have noticed with all the 3D movies in the theaters these days, that 3D is the latest thing—or, at least, the latest returning thing. Well, it wouldn't be the first time, and there have been a barrage of products at CES last January that seem to tell us that 3D is not only back, but it might be here to stay.
It would appear that YouTube is trying to get its hand in the 3D game. YouTube is currently testing out the idea of 3D videos by offering a few 3D View Style options. Granted, contributors will have to purchase special (and often expensive) video cameras in order to display their mundane activities in 3D, but it could be worth it. You can check out one of the 3D videos on YouTube now.

The company believes that their device would be great for mobile devices, with the proximity used for bringing up a menu or to control a mouse pointer. They also say that their modifications should not cost a bundle for manufacturers who want to use it.

Help India, Buy Ghajini
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Action, Trailers
The Bollywood Hindi language movie "Ghajini" has become the inspiration for India's first 3D video game. Both movie and game are thrillers about a man with short-term amnesia. The game has already launched in India and will be distributed worldwide by Eros International.

Panasonic Plasma 3DTV With Blu-ray Player
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies
You will still need some glasses, but Panasonic will be offering a 103-inch Plasma 3DTV and Blu-ray disc player that will deliver 1930x1080p high def. The company says that they put 2 sets of HD images onto one disc and have a way to record, decode and playback the images. The glasses themselves are synchronized shutters instead of those cheapy ones you used to watch Captain Eeo way back at Disneyland. Okay, but we bet they will still be nerdy and prices will be expensive plus.

Spore Sculptor Makes Creatures 3D
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Electronic Arts, Simulation
It's not just your head that can become 3D. Now your Spore creatures can come alive (almost) with Spore Sculptor. You simply upload your image and they will make you a critter in its original color for $49.00. It's best to have one that has two or more legs, and if the features or structures are too thin, chances are they will not work. The Spores are made to scale, so the larger the beast the larger the sculpture.

Over 100 Incredible Examples of Cargotecture Exhibited At NRW Forum in Düsseldorf
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On June 26, 2011 @ 12:57 am In Architecture,Cargotecture,carousel showcase,Sustainable Building | 4 Comments
'Containers [6] are a symbol of the way we live and dwell in our globalized, mobile, nomadic age,' says exhibition organizer Werner Lippert when asked to explain what gave him the idea for the exhibition. What was once a simple way to transport goods has now become a sign of the times that stands for new principles in sustainability – reuse, recycling, durability, longevity, low-cost and disaster-proof design. Containers are relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things and are very versatile, as they act as a basic building block. They can be stacked, buried, hacked, tilted, floated, bent, combined and so much more.
Hundreds of examples of shipping container architecture already exist, including pop up restaurants [7], retail stores [8], hotels [9], homes [10], art studios [11], schools [12], emergency medical clinics [13] and shelters [14], dorms [15], apartments [16], offices [17], sculptures [18] and on and on. Cargotecture is still a new field, so we can expect to see many advances and creative concepts come to fruition in the near future.
The NRW-Forum exhibit has set out to highlight the creative works that already exist while offering a fascinating overview of what is possible. Hundreds of architects and designers submitted their work and much of it was included in the exhibit, from which a catalogue will be produced for sale. Additionally, the Chamber of Architects in NRW will be organizing a series of lectures on shipping containers and architecture by renowned experts.

Bankrate Audio » Know The Risks Of Selling Stocks Short
Editor's note: This is a transcript of the audio file.
You've heard the saying, "Don't sell yourself short." Those pearls of wisdom could apply to an investment strategy known as selling stocks short. I'm Barbara Whelehan with the Bankrate.com Personal Finance Minute.
Selling stocks short involves borrowing shares from a broker and selling them right away, with the hope that stocks shares will fall in price. Then when you buy the shares at a lower price to repay the broker, you can pocket the difference.
This is a dangerous practice. When you go long, or buy a stock with the expectation that it will go up, your losses are limited if the stock falls in price, since stocks can't fall below zero.
However, when you sell stocks short, your gain is limited by the fact that a stock can't fall below zero. And your loss is potentially unlimited because a stock can keep rising forever.
Plus, there are costs involved in setting up a margin account. So, selling stocks short can backfire big time. For more on this and other personal finance information, visit Bankrate.com. I'm Barbara Whelehan.
Learn the latest trends that will help grow your portfolio, plus tips on investing strategies. Delivered weekly.

That's right. There's nothing unusual these days about a cable channel putting something different in a show's time slot as soon as the season ends. In fact, it's a pretty common practice. So there's no reason to think there's any special significance to it here.

Helpful and friendly rangers, decent spacing between spots, long enough for a 45 foot motorhome. Most of the sites are for smaller units but there are a handful for larger ones. We preferred the west side to the east side. The east side is pretty Plain Jane - more like a parking lot. The west side has more trees and seemed homier. Strong Verizon signal. (BTW - you lose the signal on the drive in but it is strong in the park.) Awesome that a state park has full hookups! We noticed that each spot gets cleaned and raked when people leave. Very nice! Gets busy on the weekend but was very quiet during the week. Only complaint is the occasional compression brakes from trucks passing by on Nehalem Hwy. About 30 minutes from Portland so easy access. If they added WII FI we'd rate it a 10! - Free
$31 per night (plus $8 for doing an online reservation) was for a large level gravel pad site with full hookups, picnic table, and fire ring. Some sites have shade at some point during the day while others are in full sun. This campground is located 34 miles NW of Portland and is out in the country where it's quiet but near enough to shopping/dining. This is bicycle country so there are many miles of trails for riding/ walking/hiking. This campground was built in 2007 and was well planned to offer most anything campers require. AT&T cell service was five bars 4G. Our Milliencom jetpack was getting four bars of 4G LTE which was great for internet access. No OTA TV. - DD Rolling Ranch
Full hook-ups, clean showers, level gravel site. Helpful hosts. Loved the 21 mile paved bicycle trail that goes right through the park. - from Latte Land

Microsoft Patent Details Whole-Room Projection Game Environment

So -- they're suggesting running a game in a CAVE virtual environment? Not exactly new. Multiscreen flight sims [xplane] are examples of one form of prior art (ok -- not quite CAVEs, but I don't know of a game in a CAVE environment. To argue that doing so is somehow non-obvious would be ridiculous. But I guess that's what lawyers are paid to do.

I have been stuck in an eternal remodel for a mcm house I bought a couple yrs. ago. I had to gut it to the studs and basically start over, keeping the exterior walls. The house is almost all glass, with periodic stretches of red rock and block. It is 3800 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms, 4 baths. I got most of the house finished before I needed a break. I'm ready to start planning the next phase. This phase will include a new master bath, possibly moving a guest bath, new flooring throughout the house, new landscaping, exterior stucco repair and paint, and a new barn style sliding panel door for the master bedroom. The master bath area consists of two walk-in closets, a dressing area, and a bath. The problem is that I dont think I have enough space to do what I want. There is about 315 sq. ft. of space, and I would love to have his/her bathrooms or at least toilets and his/her closets....PLUS sacrifice some of the space for a small bath for the adjacent room. The room adjacent to the master bath is the bird room were my two parrots'┐Į cages are. It has a bathroom that I have already remodeled (with an orange shower!), which has a pocket door opening to the dining room/great room and a second pocket door opening into the room. There is also a second entryway into the room. If the doors are open, you directly look at the toilet from the dining table. It is not a private bathroom and for this reason, no one has ever used it. I leave both doors open because it lets more light into the room for my birds, plus I like being able to see the other side of the house when in the dining room. It makes the house feel more open. Also, it lets the birds see the front and back yards and into the main room and not feel so closed off. The guest bath does not need to be large, but I do want at least a small shower. I think I can salvage most of what I have already installed, except for the orange shower. I want to gut the wall and doorway between the bird room and dining room and put a large sliding barn style (but modern) door, so the room can be opened up or closed. It seems that it could then be used as a dining room, tv room, guest room or office (but I will keep it as a parrot room). As the master bedroom will also have a hanging barn style door, I hope two of these style doors wont look too redundant. Pics of two doors into guest bath. The space with the yellow dresser will be lengthened and made into a bar/credenza: More pics of house at this link: Diagrams: |

Please forgive my ignorance...What is an "MCM" house? -Babka |
Mid Century Modern :) |
That is one BIG house for the 1950's. 3800 sq.ft. Yipes, I wouldn't know where to begin. We have Eichler homes out here in CA, built around the same time, but they are 1/2 that size. Thanks, Enduring. -Babka |
I believe the architect of this home, Al Beadle, built mostly custom homes. I believe the EIchler homes were more tract homes. From what I have seen, most of Beadle's homes are large for the era. This home was built for the owner of the Safari hotel, and his family, which was recently demolished. You can see similar features in the hotel to my house. |

What a great group of pictures, Thanks for sharing Rockybird. I hope a few of our design experts post on your house, it is an interesting project. |
Thanks! Well, I basically decided to go ahead and tear out the office/bird room bathroom and move it into the master bath space. Now I have to figure out how to design the master bath space for a his/her toilet. |

VIDEO: Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift Ring in 2009 Peacefully
Apparently it's true; music really does tame the savage breast!
Despite the awkward break-up between Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas last year, both Swift and the Jonas Brothers performed at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2009 on Wednesday. Somehow they managed to not transform New York's Times Square into a fiery wasteland of personal rancor. In fact, they both managed to put on ripping performances.
The JoBros tore through "Burnin' Up" and "Tonight" from their album A Little Bit Longer. Swift, meanwhile, graced the assembled audience with four songs from her hit album Fearless—"Picture to Burn," "Love Story," "Forever and Always" and "Change."
Well, okay; maybe Swift was sending a not-so-subtle message to her ex with her choice of songs, but be fair; at least the 19-year-old managed not to kiss Joe's current gal, 10,000 B.C. actress Camilla Belle, with her fist come the stroke of midnight.
Check out videos of their performances below:
Sigh; someone should really pack these kids up and send them to the Middle East. They could really teach the folks over there a thing or two about setting aside their differences and working for the common good.

Microsoft's new Spartan browser will support extensions
Last week, Microsoft announced its Internet Explorer successor, codenamed Project Spartan, a browser experience focused on the "modern web."
Spartan will include a new rendering engine for better performance, will allow you to use your finger (for touch displays) to annotate webpages (or a keyboard and mouse), will include a reading list to save content and sync to other devices, has a reading mode that clears away ads and other noise for easier reading, and will also have the voice activated personal assistant Cortana tech built right in.
In addition, it appears that Spartan will finally bring extension support. Spartan will launch with Windows 10 across PCs, tablets and smartphones.
Microsoft also appears to be testing ways for Chrome extension developers to port their popular extensions over to Spartan.
#AskIE @bdsams @jacobrossi @IE Yes. We're working on a plan for extensions for a future update to Project Spartan.

About four months ago, I began seeing an old high school friend. We hadn't seen each other in years and had reconnected online. In the 10 years since high school, he had married and had a child. When we began seeing each other he made it VERY clear that he was separated and had been for close to a year. The separation was not exactly amicable. He had his own house and I even met his 3-year-old daughter on the weekends. In the beginning, he said we should keep things sort of quiet until his pending divorce was final. I was OK with this because we had a small group of mutual friends who were aware of the relationship. Last weekend, I was out with some girlfriends at my local bar and my boyfriend walked in with his ex. He saw me and bolted. (We'd had sex two days prior.) About a minute later, I received a text that just said "working things out." Of course, my friends consoled me and all agreed that I should tell his wife. Our mutual friends (most of whom are guys) agree that he's a d-bag but think I should keep quiet. They also said they are as blindsided as I am because they thought we were doing so well together. I have texted and emailed several times with no response. I believe I'm owed an explanation at the very least. I have some very incriminating emails and texts that I have contemplated sending to his wife. I haven't yet because I realize there's a child involved in all of this. On the other hand, I feel he's lying to his wife also. I'm feeling very used and depressed and just can't decide what's right or wrong. — Feeling Used

After a survey of older buildings, AKDN committed to ensuring that all AKDN buildings can withstand the effects of natural disasters. All new AKDN buildings are built to withstand the seismic risk of their individual locations – to "Code +2"– which exceeds required safety standards. The reconstruction of the Gohalta Health Centre in Kashmir is one such intervention, which has been built on land identified and donated by the village community. The location of the centre allows two remote hamlets, in addition to the main village, to access and benefit from the facilities.
Photo: AKDN/Shankar DasNatural disasters in developing countries can have a particularly devastating effect, taking lives and wiping out the hard-earned assets of poor people in a matter of minutes. Compounding this loss is the destruction of vital buildings, including health facilities that are central to recovery but which are often as vulnerable as other parts of the infrastructure."The success of a disaster preparedness effort depends on our ability to ensure that health facilities can perform three vital functions: to protect the lives of patients and health workers by ensuring the structural resilience of health facilities; to ensure that health facilities and services are able to function in the aftermath of emergencies and disasters; and to improve the ability of health workers and institutions to react to and manage emergency situations.
Speech by Princess Zahra Aga Khan at the launch of the United Nations World Disaster Reduction Campaign 2008-2009
25 January 2008
In Kashmir, after the 2005 earthquake, all health units and schools in AKDN programme areas had been partially or totally destroyed. AKDN believed that it would be irresponsible to rebuild the health clinics and schools without first obtaining a better understanding of the levels of seismic risk for each institution.
Resisting the pressures to rebuild the health infrastructure quickly, AKDN commissioned a series of micro-zoning and geotechnical studies to evaluate the safety of the original locations and to identify safer sites if necessary. These studies showed that many of the original clinics and schools should never have been built at their original sites.
As a result, many communities in both the Indian and Pakistani programme areas donated safer land for the reconstruction of the public buildings. AKDN was then able to design and build new health facilities and schools incorporating seismically resistant features that respond to the conditions of the site.

Bayern Munich gap will never be closed, Leverkusen's Rudi Voller says
Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller has told kicker that the rest of the Bundesliga will never be able to close the gap to Bayern Munich.
Bayern are currently 11 points clear of second-placed Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and are widely expected to ease to a third successive German title.
Borussia Dortmund were the last team to finish ahead of Bayern, winning the 2011 and 2012 titles, but they have seen key players Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski move to Bayern and are currently struggling...

Is it alright to move bulbs now, after they have bloomed. I know of a few right now that are in the wrong place. |
Follow-Up Postings:
me too, only I am in zone 7, south of Richmond. I want to transplant hyacinths and crocuses from the porch bed to the front driveway. They have been by the porch for two seasons and come back nicely. Thanks |
- Posted by donnabaskets 7b-8 MS (My Page) on Sun, May 23, 10 at 18:39
Give them a minimum of six weeks, though 8 is better, after they bloom so the foliage will ripen. This process is important, as the bulb is forming next year's bloom inside the bulb during this time. When the foliage begins to turn brown, you can dig up the bulbs and transplant them. Here in 7B, I have excellent luck with moving the bulbs directly to their new home. Others will tell you to cure the bulbs. This difference could be because of a different climate, or it could be because I grow old fashioned, less finicky bulbs. In the past, I have lost more bulbs to rot by trying to cure them than I have by just planting them in the ground. The choice is yours. |
Thanks. I'm gonna give it a try! |

Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance is going on damage control after some parents got angry after learning he had a side job.
Some parents told 11 News they're outraged that Dance has been holding a part-time job as a consultant with Chicago Public Schools.
Dance said he has since quit the job, but he denied claims that the role was distracting him from running Baltimore County's schools.
The county school board will still hold a closed session Tuesday to discuss the possible conflict of interest.

A common concern for many first-time parents is how to determine when labor is actually beginning. One good way to tell is by timing the length of (and the amount of time between) each contraction. In general, you should call your obstetrical care provider if:
If any of these signs occur, don't panic. Call your provider and ask when and where they would like to see you. Together you may decide that you should be seen right away, or may decide that it is best to remain at home to see what happens with time.
If your doctor or midwife wants you to come to the office or hospital, be careful driving there and take the time to travel safely. While it is normal to worry about getting to the hospital in time, reckless driving is risky. Your partner is unlikely to deliver on the way. If you are going to be far from home, arrange for a friend or family member to be available to drive your partner to be seen. Calling an ambulance should be only rarely necessary and then only as a last resort. By calling when you notice the signs listed above, you will insure that you have the time you need.
Stage 1
Labor is divided into three stages. Stage 1 begins when there are regular, continuing contractions of the uterus that lead the cervix to start to dilate (open) and ends when the cervix is fully dilated to 10 centimeters. Your role during Stage 1 is to comfort and encourage your partner as much as possible. Stay by her side. Help her with the breathing techniques and other strategies you learned in childbirth classes. Sometimes strategies that seemed easy to follow in class, are hard to use when labor really comes, so don't be surprised if your partner seems frustrated or doesn't want to follow the birth-plan you'd agreed to in advance. If she is agreeable, touch her face lightly with a cool sponge or hold her hand during the contractions. Take your cues from your partner ... she'll let you know if you're doing the right thing. Recognize that she is may be very uncomfortable. She may ask that you say and do nothing, just support her with your presence.
Try not to expect more from yourself than is reasonably possible. You cannot speed up your partner's labor or make the pain go away. Your role is to be there to comfort, encourage and soothe.
Stage 2
Stage 2 is the "pushing" stage. It begins when the cervix is fully dilated, and ends with the birth of your baby. Continue to encourage and support your partner throughout Stage 2. The professionals present will present guidance to help your partner coordinate her breathing and pushing activities.
Stage 3
It's not over yet! Stage 3 is the delivery of the placenta. Usually this happens within minutes without much effort or discomfort. After your baby is delivered, your partner's contractions will usually stop.
If all is well with mother and baby, spend quiet time together in the delivery room. Your partner may work with the nurse to help start breastfeeding. Don't be discouraged if the baby doesn't latch on or take the breast at first. He or she may be tired and just want to sleep. You are likely to be tired too, but don't miss the chance to touch, hold and talk with your baby. to bond with your new baby through touching, talking and holding. Once your partner and your new son or daughter are resting comfortably, try to get some rest yourself. Both of you are going to need it!
Cesarean Section Delivery
Birth by cesarean section means the baby is delivered through an abdominal/uterine incision rather than through the vagina. This method of delivery can be necessary due to medical or obstetrical conditions relating to the mother or baby.
A cesarean section is routine but major abdominal surgery, so if your partner requires a cesarean section she'll need extra support both in the hospital and at home. That's where you step in. You can help as she needs to move out of bed and get around the house. She may need you to bring the baby to her for feeding. Change as many diapers as possible. If possible she should do nothing more than sleep, feed the baby (if she is breastfeeding) and shower once a day for the first several weeks.

This text examines the impact of drug-taking behavior on our society and our daily lives. The use and abuse of a wide range of licit and illicit drugs are discussed from historical, biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
In today's world, drugs and their use present a social paradox, combining the potential for good and for bad. As a society and as individuals, we can be the beneficiaries of drugs or their victims. Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society, Sixth Edition features a comprehensive review of psychoactive drugs, and is notable for the attention it gives to two aspects of drug-taking behavior that have been underreported in other texts: steroid abuse and inhalant abuse.
